Golden Amber
Golden Amber by Floris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, fig, watery notes and blackcurrant, moves into almond blossom, neroli, rose and geranium and dries down to amber, tonka bean, patchouli and sandalwood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Watery Notes A clear, wet freshness. Less salty than a sea note.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Almond Blossom Soft floral with a marzipan edge. Sweet but not gourmand.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
